In case you're wondering, I'm not making ANY of this up. There really is a Cousin Bill and he really says stuff like this. All the time. He's even more hilarious in person, with his cowboy swagger and his ten-gallon twang.
The best thing out of Texas since Jim Hightower.
Read and enjoy.

Perry appears to be fading into the sunset. We'll all give a yell to that one. It means he'll be here again, though, concentrating on Texas-sized problems. Thanks alot America!
Bachmann's a definite nut case. Her views are best described as prehistoric & loosely Bible-based. She even scares extreme Christians I know down here. Hot and crazy; a scary combo. (If she lived close by I'd ask her out.)
How about Newt? A two faced-liar named for a lizard. "Who doesn't love Newt?" (Songs are being composed in my head even as I type this.)
Cain is an extremist with defiantly original ideas. His 9-9-9 plan should grab the millionaire vote for sure. I saw figures on that. Middle class would be paying between double and triple what they are now while millionaires' taxes would be slashed to less than half. God Save Our Rich and f**k the middle class with an unlubricated [lumber-related expletive deleted].
Romney. Good ole Mitt. Nice guy. Company man. The logical front-runner whom no one gets exicited about. Won't step on any Republican toes, but also unpersonable. You're expecting to like him, then he goes and opens his mouth.
The Mormon stigma is attached as well. I always felt the South Park episode on Mormons pretty well stated the facts & fantasy of this mid- 1800s Christian cult religion. Supposedly there were hundreds of Christian cults that sprang up during that time. This one managed to survive. I must admit to having known some of them and they are truly good, moral, nice people. But this is like saying: "I'm not prejudiced. Just look at my black friends."
Makes one wonder, though: if Romney believes that all this happened in the 1800s to create this religion with absolutely no facts to back it up, only the word of Joseph Smith, what else could he be easily swayed on — dragging the rest of the country in tow?
Who knows? No republicans worth a rat's ass.... (Even Perry knew that, till he was hypnotized in his late 20s.)
[Republicans] will still get the Obama-hater vote, but little else.
That leaves Obama — the great man himself. I believed his rhetoric. I voted for him and have been disappointed since the day he took office. Change? Change? Change? Yes, it sells, but there really hasn't been much change of anything in our system. He let the Republicans gut his healthcare reform & every other plan he's tried to implement. He's shown no leadership what-so-ever in dealing with our many problems or the opposition. We needed a street fighter & got a diplomat. There's a time & place for diplomacy; however, sooner or later you have to throw a punch or two. Obama has never thrown a single punch & that's sad.
Really I'd rather vote for someone else, but I have a feeling it will come down to the lesser of two evils and that will be Obama.
